Granted: 2012-08-07
Abstract: L'invention concerne un nouveau récepteur nucléaire, ci-après dénommé récepteur SXR (récepteur de stéroïde et de xénobiotique), qui est un récepteur de détection polyvalent constituant une nouvelle branche de la superfamille des récepteurs nucléaires. Le récepteur SXR forme avec le récepteur RXR un hétérodimère pouvant se lier à des éléments de réponse et induire la transcription à partir de ces derniers, qui sont présents dans les gènes du cytochrome P-450 inductible par des stéroïdes en réponse à des centaines de composés naturels et synthétiques présentant une activité biologique, y compris des stéroïdes thérapeutiques ou alimentaires et des lipides. Au lieu de contrôler des centaines de récepteurs, un pour chaque composé inducteur, les récepteurs SRX de cette invention contrôlent des niveaux d'agrégats d'inducteurs de manière à provoquer la production d'enzymes de métabolisation dans une voie métabolique coordonnée. Les agoniste et les antagonistes desdits récepteurs SRX sont administrés à des sujets de manière à atteindre divers objectifs thérapeutiques, qui dépendent de la modulation du métabolisme d'un ou plusieurs stéroïdes ou xénobiotiques endogènes, de manière à atteindre l'homéostasie. L'invention concerne également une analyse permettant d'identifier des médicaments stéroïdes susceptibles de provoquer une interaction médicamenteuse s'ils sont administrés à un sujet en quantité thérapeutique.

Patent CA-2342402-C (CA)
Title: A method for detecting and eliminating narrowband channel interference
Inventor: WILLETTS MARK N
IPC: H04B1/707
Filed: 1999-02-02
Granted: 2003-09-02
Abstract: A method and device which dynamically detects, tracks and filters interfering signals with sufficient speed (i.e. within one IS-95 CDMA data frame period, or 20ms) and fidelity to eliminate or greatly reduce the deleterious effects of narrow band interferon signals on a CDMA link. When inserted in an RF signal path an Adaptive Notch Filter (ANF) detects narrow band interferors above a threshold level within the CDMA signal. Detection is accomplished by continuous scanning of a preset excision band, e.g. a specified narrow band associated with an AMPS system. Detected interferors are then automatically acquired and suppressed. This is achieved by electronically placing a rejection notch at the frequency of the interferors. Multiple notch filters may be used to simultaneously suppress multiple interferors. In the absence of interferors a bypass mode is selected allowing the RF signal to bypass the notch. Upon detection of an interferon, a switch is made to a suppression mode where the interferon is steered through a first notch section and suppressed. Alternatively, an external control line may be used to select the bypass mode so that the signal is allowed to pass the notch section, regardless of interferon content.

Title: Bandwidth allocation in ethernet networks
Inventor: CUNNINGHAM IAN M
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2001-11-29
Granted: 2011-01-11
Abstract: For assigning bandwidth in a constrained topology ethernet network there is presented a function that creates and manages a ledger of bandwidth requests over the ethernet network. The function, a bandwidth manager, tracks the total bandwidth of each link in the network and the bandwidth that has been reserved on each link. When traffic is granted reserved bandwidth the bandwidth manager notes this allocation in the ledger. The header of the traffic packets indicates that the traffic is of highest priority when the traffic has been given reserved bandwidth. In this manner the bandwidth manager can track and limit the amount of high priority traffic on the network.

Title: Apparatus and method for gray level printing
Inventor: TAI TWAI-TZUU
IPC: G03G15/043
Filed: 2001-05-15
Granted: 2005-11-29
Abstract: A copier or a printer (10) includes a controller 16/30 with a rendering algorithm that groups sets of adjacent pixels into sets of adjacent cells where each cell corresponds to a halftone dot of an image. The algorithm operates in conjunction with a gray scale printhead (22). In sending data to the printhead, the controller (16) parses a scanned image and set the exposure for each pixel in accordance with a growth and density program. The algorithm selectively grows halftone dots from zero size to a desired size equal to or less than a maximum size. It repeats this step for the rest of the pixels until the cell is at its desired size and at an initial density. If a higher density is desired, the algorithm selectively adjusts the fully grown cells by sequentially increasing the level of exposure of each pixel in the cell. The image is developed with developer including a hard magnetic carrier and toner.

Abstract: A system for controlling and monitoring a process performed by one or more actors characterized by roles, is provided. The process is associated with a complex object, e.g. a document, in which constituent objects, e.g. chapters, can be distinguished. The system defines and stores models of the complex object and of the process, wherein the process includes actions. The system creates action- object combinations for linking roles to actions, for establishing whether an action- object combination is ready to be executed, and makes executable action-object combinations available to actors with the appropriate role. The system models the complex object in a hierarchical multi-layered tree structure of constituent objects, in which parent objects have children in a lower layer. A programmable processing device comprises one or more of the components of the system. A computer program, when run on a computer, turns the computer into such a programmable processing device.
